NADI, TM Introduce AI-Powered Robotic Dogs At LIMA'25
GENERAL By Nazira Hasanah Nasaruddin LANGKAWI, May 24 (Bernama) -- The sight of two AI-powered robotic dogs has become one of the main attractions for visitors at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2025 (LIMA'25), held at the Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre (MIEC) since yesterday. One of them was introduced by National Aerospace Defense Industries Sdn Bhd (NADI), an AI-powered robotic dog designed as a Quadruped Unmanned Ground Vehicle (Q-UGV) to support security, defence, and industrial applications. NADI Group senior engineer Wayne Lim said the dog, named Asuk, was developed in collaboration with Ghost Robotics of the United States. The Q-UGV serves as a foundational platform in NADI's long-term strategy to build an ecosystem of intelligent, interoperable unmanned systems capable of operating across land, sea and air domains. He said the dog was named Asuk, which in Sarawak means dog, and the name also serves as an abbreviation for 'Anjing Siber Unit Khas'. 'Weighing 50 kilogrammes, the robotic dog offers up to 24 hours of autonomous operation and is capable of performing reconnaissance in hazardous environments such as disaster zones, combat areas, and high-risk industrial sites. Asuk is also designed to withstand moderate weather conditions, featuring an IP67 rating for splash and dust resistance. 'The Q-UGV is designed to evolve with advancements in AI, autonomy and sensor technology. We aim to lead in developing unmanned systems that operate safely, efficiently and effectively across diverse mission environments,' he told Bernama here today. According to Lim, the platform's modular payloads can be customised to suit mission needs, and several Malaysian defence and emergency response agencies, including the Fire and Rescue Department and the Royal Malaysia Police, are currently evaluating the system through technical demonstrations and field trials. He said the dog, equipped with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), infrared or thermal sensors, inertial measurement units (IMUs), cameras and chemical sensors, can carry out surveillance, threat detection and payload delivery with minimal human intervention.

Pakistan used Turkish drones, with civil airliner as shield. India then hit its radar station
'On the night of 8 and 9 May, the Pakistan army violated Indian airspace several times over the entire western border with the intention of targeting military infrastructure. Not only this, the Pakistani army also fired heavy calibre weapons along the Line of Control. Around 300 to 400 drones were used to attempt infiltration at 36 locations,' said Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, briefing the media flanked by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh. The drone intrusion was described by the government Friday as an action to gauge Indian air defence systems and gather intelligence. New Delhi: Pakistan used 300-400 Turkish drones to infiltrate Indian air space at 36 locations along the length and breadth of the western borders, and used a civil airliner as a shield to prevent a quick hit back Thursday evening, the Indian government has said. 'The Indian armed forces shot down many of these drones, using kinetic and non-kinetic means. The possible purpose of such large-scale aerial intrusions was to test air defence systems and collect intelligence.' Colonel Qureshi added, 'Forensic investigation of the wreckage of the drones is being done. Initial reports suggest that they are Turkish Asisguard Songar drones.' Wing Commander Singh announced that late Thursday night, an armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle of Pakistan attempted to target the Bathinda military station, which was detected and neutralized. 'In response to the Pakistani attack, armed drones were launched at four air defence sites in Pakistan. One of the drones was able to destroy an AD (air defence) radar. Pakistan also carried out artillery shelling across the Line of Control using heavy-calibre artillery guns and armed drones… which resulted in some losses and injuries to Indian army personnel. The Pakistan army also suffered major losses in Indian retaliatory fire,' she said.
